Molecular Structure

Benefits

Ginseng is believed to possess amazing healing properties, increase wisdom and longevity, cure neurological disorders. Ginseng is an adaptogen which help the body quickly restore homeostasis, reduce the effects of aging, and have been used in preventing heart disease. Ginseng is used to enhance physical (including sexual) and mental performance and to increase energy and resistance to the harmful effects of stress and aging. Medicinal use of ginseng can be traced back nearly 2,000 years. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Panax ginseng is a tonic used to increase strength, increase blood volume, promote life and appetite, quiet the spirit, and give wisdom. Ginseng was used in the treatment of conditions such as defective memory, gastrointestinal disorders and disability states.

Mechanism

The roots of Asian and American ginseng contain several saponins named ginsenosides that are believed to contribute to the adaptogenic properties. They are used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve stamina and combat fatigue and stress. Saponins are interesting natural compounds found in many plants, herbs, roots, and beans. Saponins have potential in the prevention and treatment of diseases of the heart and circulatory system. For instance, they inhibit the formation of lipid peroxides (fat oxidation) in cardiac muscle or in the liver, they influence the function of enzymes contained in them, they decrease blood coagulation, cholesterol, and sugar levels in blood, and they stimulate the immune system. Some saponins may even have anti-tumor properties.

Safety

Ginseng is a mild herb and is considered to be extremely safe. Negative side-effects are virtually nonexistent. It is not a stimulant and does not cause feelings of over excitement, agitation or insomnia, when taken responsibly. However, it has been reported that large doses of ginseng can cause nausea, high blood pressure, sleeplessness, restlessness and sexual arousal. The recommended daily dose is small and large doses of ginseng are not recommended or necessary.

Ginseng can be purchased readily as a whole root (dried, peeled), a dried powder or a standardized extract. Standardized Panax ginseng contains 4-5% ginsenosides, and standardized Siberian ginseng contains 0.5-1.0% eleutherosides.
